Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Yeah, I’m here, just not finding much support. My crazy wife put me on nonstop exclusion lists, and I still love spinning blackjack or slots on Friday nights. I don’t care what she thinks.
Found some weird startup that gives 500% bonus — no idea how they don’t go bankrupt, but as long as it works, I’m using it. Even with my terrible luck, sometimes I manage to pull some cash out, though that’s not the point.
I’m not a big casino guy, been to Vegas once when I was younger, but I swear the most honest casinos are in Finland — 97% payout rate. At least they put gambling money into social projects and refugee support, way better than how the UK just keeps raising property taxes and screwing its own citizens without giving us even a slot to play.
___How about realising you have a problem?
Because no one wants to support an addiction. Would you be supporting a heroin addict in finding their drug?
Uhh, yes, I would support heroin addicts finding heroin, it's literally how the most successful drug treatment programs work.
I won't support it, but I won't ban it either. There's always been a percentage of people prone to addictions—it's been that way throughout millennia. And that fucking Puritan morality has never helped anyone deal with it. Why the hell would it work now?
